(Free-Press-Release.com) October 3, 2010 -- Commonwealth Games is a big sport event which is held every four years and event which brings together athletes from the former British Empire. This year’s organizers of Commonwealth Games is India but until recently it was not sure whether India will succeed in organizing these games.

In fact, on September 18th the terrorists fired a rocket on a bus near the mosque, a popular tourist destination. Two visitors from Taiwan were rushed to hospital and responsibility for the attack was taken by the Islamists. Pedestrian bridge to the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, where the games should be open, was destroyed on September 21th. A day later, the roof of the stadium was demolished. Medical assistance was requested by 27 persons. Organizers said that the accident was caused by a person who fell while he was trying to climb onto the roof.

But that’s not all. Experts have a fear of “Dandy-fever”, a disease transmitted by mosquitoes, whose temptation is particularly strong on October. So far, the country registered 2500 cases. Several Indian newspapers reported about the stray dogs who have found their “hot corner” on beds designed for athletes. An Indian journalist reported that the toilets were dirty and that garbage was on every street corner.

But despite all these problems, the 19th Commonwealth Games begins in New Delhi. Over three million viewers watched India’s biggest sporting spectacle. Britain’s Prince Charles officially declared open this games. 71 nations with 7,000 athletes will participate in 17 sports. ” The 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi are now open. Let the Games begin” concluded President Patil.

Officials hope that the beginning of the games will erase the shame of the delay preparations.
